Using Crossover 6.2.1, I have Money 2004 successfully installed in a
new win98 bottle, on both a Tiger system (10.4.11, MacBook) and a
Leopard system (10.5.1, new Mac Mini), but depending on the OS there
were differences in the specific installation procedure that worked
for me, so I wanted to share them here.
The upshot, though, is that Money 2004 appears to run as well as with
a previous version of Crossover (6.0?) that I'd tried on Tiger almost
a year ago; as with 6.0, the only complaint is the appearance of those
"%0" strings at the start of every subcategory, but I can live with
them.
Running version 6.2.1 on Tiger, you can pretty much avoid interference
with the Money installer -- basically I just create a new win98
bottle, select "install unsupported software" and allow the Money
installer to run from CD. The Money installer detects that it needs
to first install IE6, Outlook, Windows Media Player, etc., but then
eventually moves on to the Money 2004 system pack and Money 2004
itself. (I think you have to force-quit at the very end of the
process, but otherwise everything is smooth sailing.)
On the Leopard system, these same steps didn't work, but
what finally ended up working was as follows: in Crossover, first
either create a new win98 bottle or just go straight to "Install
supported software into new bottle"; then, at the "Install Software"
screen, select IE6 and go on to the next screen; at the "Select
Installer File" screen, choose the Money CD's SETUP.EXE file and
execute it. This has the effect of tricking Crossover into thinking
that it's installing IE6 alone, but instead you're running the full
Money Installer, which of course first does the IE6 portion but then
moves on to doing all of Money. (Again you may have to force-quit
after Money has installed.)
